So my question is this: Is there a list of gender specific classes and prestige classes somewhere?
If such a list doesn't exist yet, perhaps we could make one here? Also, The list can have 3rd party classes and prestige classes as well.

The idea of "male" being treated as a default does tend to lead to the result that only classes that specifically require a female as far as gender-specific things go. Luna Trigger has already covered all the ones that come to mind for me.
There might also be cases that are effectively gender-restricted if they require a specific race that has only a single gender, as nymphs or satyrs usually do, but those are also relatively uncommon. A similar arrangement could occur for prestige classes requiring membership in an organization, but they'd probably already identify gender as a requirement of the prestige class.
I did end up writing a male-specific one myself that was a bit like the thrallherd in employing the approximate principles of the Leadership feat, but I assume we're not after homebrew material here.

Eunuch Warlock is, as should be obvious, Male only. Durthan from Unapproachable East, Hathran(PGtF), Yathrinshee(PGtF) Arachne(F&P), Sword Dancer(F&P), and Swanmay(BoED) are all female exlcusive. Oh, and all the BDSM classes(Scourge Maiden(SS), Maiden of Pain(PGfF), etc) are female because the writers are essentially all guys. Also, it's worth noting Drow Paragon functions differently depending on gender.

Not that I'm aware of.
